BE MY ENEMY is a new project from guitarist and producer Phil Barry - one half of legendary British industrial duo CUBANATE.

Between 1992-1998 with CUBANATE, Barry released four albums, and toured with bands such as FEAR FACTORY, SHEEP ON DRUGS and RAMMSTEIN. CUBANATE's 1995 album "Cyberia" included the hit song "Oxyacetylene" which was 'Single of the Week' in legendary UK rock magazine KERRANG!, and was later used as the theme music

to the Playstation game "Gran Turismo" (1998). CUBANATE have been cited as a musical influence by none other than THE PRODIGY as well as various acclaimed nu-metal acts.For BE MY ENEMY's debut album, "This Is the New Wave", Barry has returned to the kind of sound that made CUBANATE so successful: heavy guitar riffs, hard breakbeats and rave synth basslines. The resulting album is ten tracks of techno-metal, every bit as brutal as the finest moments of CUBANATE's "Cyberia", with dancefloor-destroying tracks like "Disintegration" clearly in the tradition of "Oxyacetylene".

BE MY ENEMY's sound also evokes the finest moments of other punk-influenced British dance/rock crossover acts like PITCHSHIFTER and THE PRODIGY, given a distinctive British feel by the sneering John Lydon-esque vocals of Barry himself. BE MY ENEMY is part-punk, part-rave, part-metal: but all-original.

"This Is the New Wave" has been mastered by Jan L (NOISUF-X) at Germany's X-M-P studios, and artwork comes from Vlad McNeally at Kallisti Design in the U.S.
